Asbestos survey in Littlebourne
For businesses and landlords in Littlebourne
If your business premises in Littlebourne were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Asbestos survey for Littlebourne properties
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. Whether it’s refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and surveys requested by builders before work, we cover pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs and more.
Village houses like those in Littlebourne have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Step by step
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there’s no confusion.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs

- Soffits and porch canopies
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- The size of the job

- How many different materials need sampling
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Littlebourne: your questions answered
Do you work near Bekesbourne station?
Yes. Bekesbourne station is about 1.5 miles south-west of Littlebourne, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Littlebourne?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats generally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
After the job
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
